Petplace Abergele

February 12, 2018 by corbyfellas

Farm & Pet place in Abergele has recently been rebranded from Farm and Pet Place to petplace. Don’t worry though! You’ll still see the same familiar faces and we still stock the same products at the same great prices as before. With petplace they have a modern new look and stock more pet supplies than ever.

Situated just off the Rhuddlan Roundabout off the A55, petplace is the perfect place to drop in and stock up on everything you could possibly want for your pet. Opposite the Abergele McDonalds, there’s easy access and ample parking.

For any queries or if you need help finding your way to the store, you can contact petplace Abergele directly on 01745 823188.

All of their stores are pet friendly so feel free to bring your pets with you and let them choose their own treats! And for all those mucky pups, they also have their own self service dog wash.

Merry Christmas

by corbyfellas

We at Corby & Fellas have decided that rather than sending out individual Christmas Cards, we would put the money to better use by donating it to the Greenfingers Charity.

Greenfingers is a very worthwhile charity, which supports children who are spending time in hospices around the UK, together with their families, by creating beautiful and inspiring gardens for them to relax in and to benefit from.

In lieu of a card and on behalf of us all at C&F, we would like to take this opportunity, to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Peaceful New Year.

EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

I’m sure that the gripping title of this news features will have attracted your attention! No? Ok ………but, unfortunately, it’s something that you really need to know about.

The EU the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will update existing data protection legislation when it comes into effect in May 2018; this is despite our impending exit from the EU.

It is designed to harmonise all data privacy laws across Europe, including the UK, with the aim of protecting and empowering all UK and EU citizens to preserve their data privacy.

GDPR will determine the way in which organisations, including retailers, obtain, handle and hold any data that they have gathered about customers. If you run a loyalty card programme, have a club card scheme and/or have a CRM system you need to know about this legislation.

We will soon be making changes to our innovative WinRetail package to help users to comply with the new regulation. In addition, at least one of our team will be attending an approved course, so that we can offer advice and guidance, ensuring that you can stay ‘ahead of the game’.

Well done to all that took part in the Henstead Hike 2017

So far £650 has been raised, which over £200 was by Corby + Fellas and their employees! The money raised will be for a defibrillator for the school and local community use.

Last Friday, the children of our Sales & Marketing Manager Kim and grandchildren of Chris Corby took part in a challenging coastal walk, along with Kim and Chris Corby’s wife, Rosie Corby. (more…)
